Individual and Mass
The usual confrontation between the two eternal opponents: the individual and the mass.
There are two antithetical visions of the world that through millennia have demonstrated the impossibility of getting to terms at all.
An individual speaks and tries to put forward his philosophy to a mass of people who cannot avoid having the opposite opinion. He makes every possible effort in his ingenious attempt to be understood. It’s like thinking Socrates would have been able to convince his 600 judges, Galileo the Holy Inquisition or Jesus the Synedrion. Their chances were not larger than M.L King’s to convince the WASP Establishment of the USA in the sixties. The very qualities of the individual make him dislikeable to the mass of humanity that is lead hypnotically by his song of pain, by the magma of emotions and negative illusions, first among them the suspect, the doubt, and the fear.
The individual creates - anything big, useful, beautiful, any development in science and conscience has always been thought and realized by one man and one man alone - the mass destroys; the individual dreams, the mass does not - at best it creates nightmares. Yes, because journalists with activist spirit and obvious dislike for the other political party did not express independent thought, but the political standing of a party, of a regime. Finally, the individual can nurture positive feelings like love, optimism, and gratitude, the mass cannot, it irreparably thinks and feels in a negative way - Always.
